Image Analyzer

Image Analyzer is the market leading solution for detecting sexually explicit image content. The technology can quickly and accurately analyze an image or video to determine if it contains pornography. Image Analyzer is licensed on an OEM basis to software vendors and service providers across a broad range of market sectors.

The Internet has changed the way pornography can be accessed and distributed. In addition to adult oriented websites, pornography is also now commonly found on corporate networks, attached to emails, embedded in text messages, shared via social networks and uploaded to media sharing sites. Today's prosumer can access all of this content via a single mobile device with high speed connectivity. The problem affects parents, employers and governments as they struggle to protect children, employees and citizens against the increasing volume and availability of sexually explicit content. Image Analyzer is a software engine that scans the composition of images and videos to identify attributes that indicate the content may be pornographic. The technology does not rely on a signature database of pre-categorized content but uses sophisticated analytical processes consisting of multiple detection methods to reliably distinguish between pornographic and non pornographic content. First generation image analysis technologies were heavily dependent upon inaccurate skin tone analysis and therefore were prone to false positives. Image Analyzer has relegated this analytical element to a less important part of a more sophisticated decision making process which delivers vastly improved accuracy with low false positives.
